oh i see you beat me to it haha, just posted it on the cool video thread. i love this ad, fuss free no bs just action and sounds

Yeah the sounds concern me though, do I hear UEL headers on the STI? Are they putting the new FA engines in the STIs or not?

you called ?  :D

 

2018 sti still uses the old export 2.5 motor

 

the update looks good/bad...

 

good - bigger brakes - name brand seats

 

not so good - the nose is fussier, the car needs more power and the dashboard is still messy.

 

maybe next time ?

Those Recaro's and 6 pots are epic but not such a fan of the front end. Looks mildly cleaner without the baragement of extra lights down low but hate flush grilles and lower openings/vents with a passion, the same design with a bit of a recess would look a thousand times better.

 

Pretty awesome video though

That's a shame :(

In a world with Focus RSs and other fast AWD 4cyl Subaru are kinda letting the STI down by keeping the old EJ. In saying that - those Recaros tho....:x wonder if they bolt into a V7 and come in blue

 

You'd think they could squeeze some more power out of it by now surely :S

Emissions are probably what restricts it now that the gentlemans agreement isnt really in play with the evo out of production.

Subaru revealed they have a new 2.4DIT engine a few days ago, which will be used in their upcoming Ascent SUV. I expect it will also be in the next STI in 2020, with somewhere around 260kW. With this new 2.4 in the STI, Subaru should be a bit more willing to bump up the FA20's numbers without risking any scuffing of the STI's halo status.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
